What makes the English so . . . English? The English are often
confused about who they are. They say 'British' when they mean
'English', and 'English' when they should say 'British.' And when
England, more than the rest of the UK, voted to leave the EU, polls
showed national identity was a big concern. So it's time the
English sorted out in their minds what it means to be English. A
nation's character is moulded by its history. In Who Do the English
Think They Are? historian and journalist Derek J. Taylor travels
the length and breadth of the country to find answers. He discovers
that the first English came from Germany, and then in the later
Middle Ages almost became French. He tracks down the origins of
English respect for the rule of law, tolerance and a love of
political stability. And, when he reaches Victorian times, he
investigates the arrogance and snobbishness that have sometimes
blighted English behaviour. Finally, Taylor looks ahead and asks:
faced with uncharted waters post-Brexit, what is it in their
national character that will help guide the English people now?
